An applicant should not feel comfortable their fax was received until they receive a copy of their fax by mail and their submission appears online within their account.

Any person even slightly unsure should immediately send their submission a second time and follow-up with a phone call.

Unemployment Fax Number: Risk # 2

The second risk is failing to acknowledge a fax was submitted during a phone appeal hearing. In other words, every applicant needs to be fighting tooth and nail to assure their judge has a copy of their submission.

Unemployment Fax Number: Risk # 3

The third risk is believing a fax receipt affirms the unemployment office in Minnesota received the submission.

Never assume the unemployment office received your fax. Again, any person even slightly unsure should immediately send their submission a second (or third) time and follow-up with a phone call.

Unemployment Fax Number: Risk # 4

Applicants sending evidence more than a couple of pages risk jamming up DEED’s fax machine or the fax ending early.

I know this sounds crazy. Again, in my experience, the fax number managed by the unemployment office has seen better days.

In my experience, sending copies by mail is always encouraged.

Unemployment Fax Number: Tip #1

I think the best time to send a fax to the unemployment office is late at night. For one, you are less likely to experience a busy signal. Second, longer submissions will generally get through without a problem.

Of course, now that I am letting this secret out of the bag…the fax machines will come to a screeching halt. For this reason, my number one tip might become obsolete.
